The New Cal Fight Song

[Martin]

UC Berkeley has the tune for a new football fight song.

Listen to the tune here:

there was a national competition to come up with the music

and it was won by someone who had never composed music before

surprisingly

but it sound pretty good, and like a fight song should

 

now there is a competition to supply words to go with the tune.

this is your chance to become a published poet.

 

compose some lyrics to go with this tune and

mail them to

UC Marching Band

if you dont think composing lyrics for the college fight song is

about education then where is your school spirit

I already finished my undergraduate studies at Cal. School spirit meant nothing to me while I was there, so obviously it means even less than nothing now that I'm not there anymore. If I ever go to grad school at Cal, rest assured school spirit will rise back to its "means nothing to me" status.

Your ideas here could make a good song, but these lyrics as you have written them, do not rhyme. Try breaking what you have written down into short snappy lines that rhyme.
